Howdy everyone,
	After our club meeting tonight, I want to work out the best way to stay 
connected.

	Being deafblind, I need to find a method where I can be alerted when 
emergencies arise here. Here are a couple scenarios that some of you 
might relate to.

	One, I have a cochlear implant in one ear, other ear is deaf. I have an 
alerting system that tells me when doorbell is pushed or landline phone 
rings. I ignore the landline phoine when in bed. We talked about perhaps 
using a radio dedicated to our selected emergency channel and in my 
case, perhaps rig a bed shaker to it. That way I have no doubt I want to 
get up and respond. Any other possible ideas?

	Second, when I am up and about, I want a way to receive particular 
alerts. Cell phones can receive text messages. If I had an iPhone (which 
I am considering) would it be possible to have text alerts ring? I am 
not sure how this works on those phones since I dont ahve one yet. But I 
need a way to know when an alert comes in from the county. One can 
assign special ringtones to contacts. Can this be done for incoming text 
messages? Does this make sense?

	I realize there is no perfect solution that will work all the time. 
Most of the time would be acceptable. Thanks.
